it's all packed!

so here was the initial cut for the stuff to pack for the trip. turns out i had to take out a couple books, a pair of jeans a sweater and a pair of shoes.

it tidies up nicely in ziplocks though. a must if you're packing in a top loading backpack. that way its easy to get to the things in the bottom of the bag without refolding everything every single time :)

and wonder of wonders. its all in the bag. and it only weighs 29 pounds. not too bad i don't think :) we leave tomorrow. the ipod is still not loaded with music. crap!

space science and a little silliness {closed}

so i was reading some online news and look what i found! you've got to read this its about pluto . so my question is. what happens to the rhyme that kids use to memorize the order? i mean hello! My Very Ecellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas... just doesn't have the same ring without the pizzas does it? oh well. so i have a proposition . no no silly no tthat kind of proposition. dave would get mad! or at least i hope he would... anyhoo. come up with your own rhyme to help kids memorize the order. the sillier the better, and the winner will get something fabulous from my stash. wow. i've never had a contest before this is kinda fun! i guess i have to figure out a way to pick the winner. hmm. ok all entries that include the beginning letter of all the currently accepted planets and usues them in order will go into a hat. not the actual people who enter. thats a big hat. but all their entries :) and a random draw shall decide ok? enter as many times as you like. and have
